We reshape the teeth by individually layering and skilfully shaping composite resins onto the tooth to mimic your natural tooth structure. We then harden the composite using an ultraviolet light.
Cosmetic bonding can restore chipped or broken teeth, fill in gaps, reshape or disguise discolouration. It is used for a variety of cosmetic dental procedures including:
Cosmetic bonding is now a popular treatment that uses a composite resin to serve various cosmetic and structural purposes. With the use of composite resin bonding, we can lengthen teeth as well as restoring teeth that are chipped or broken.
Bonding allows us to achieve cosmetic improvements that include reshaping and lengthening teeth. The application of thin plastic coating on the front surface helps in hiding any flaws in the appearance of teeth. Once this is done, bonding materials are applied and sculpted, colored and eventually shaped to produce a satisfactory result. The plastic is then hardened by a high-intensity light with the surface being eventually polished.
Crowns are also a commonly used treatment to restore damaged, cracked and chipped teeth. You may need crown lengthening treatment if a tooth needs a new crown or another restoration.
Crown lengthening is a treatment used to expose more of your tooth and your dentist will achieve this by adjusting the bone and gum level. This allows us to restore your tooth. Patients who have a damaged tooth may need crown lengthening treatment when they’re having a crown fitted, as in some cases the damaged tooth would be susceptible to additional damage while the crown is being attached. Crown lengthening allows us to deliver a safe and effective restoration, exposing more of your tooth so your dentist can safely tend to it.
